HORROR MYSTERY
What a great movie! I'd never seen this before, but it's almost as good as "The Ghost Breakers," one of my favorite movies. These movies show that special effects aren't needed at all if the movie has great acting, and these ones have that in abundance.! Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard made a just about perfect team in these movies!
Great movie, funny with a first class cast ????
Great classic ❤
Also the housekeepers a babe
miss lu is hot
what’s that sound like a gong ????
Yet another great film ruined by pointless annoying non stop ads on this channel uploader, Unsubscribed ????????????????
Sadly they don’t make movies like this now & don’t have actors or comedians like Bob Hope that never used a foul word but was hysterical.
Bob Hope is HILIARIOUS.
Gale Sondergard and George Zucco in the opening scene set the mood for a very enjoyable film put this with The Ghost Breakers and you have a perfect spooky evening. Thanks for posting.
They're in the middle of the hottest and most humid bayou on the planet but they're bundled up like they're going on a polar expedition.
Most enjoyable film ive seen, the writing is well just , WOW
seriously, though, i has mhad a permanent smile
These people are all cousins.????
????????????
The only problem with this film is Bob Hope. Such an irritating character. I saw a modern day version of this, in colour, and sadly remember the end! Didn't watch the rest of the film.
"My mother taught me to never be caught twice in the same lady's bedroom." Bob Hope was a gem.
I loved this so much I bought the film on dvd. They also appeared in Ghost Breakers which is scarier and funnier. Paulette Goddard and Bob Hope make a tremendous team. And a script with some common sense makes this even more fun.

The cat. That’s what the inmates call it. But, they’re all crazy. Lol
